I think I would have to call "Bull$hit !!" on that one. The date on the Service Bulletin is February 20. Some dealers are good, but I have yet to hear of one that's clairvoyant.
Finally, he says they heard about it in JAN.

RE: HD service bullitan for 06 INJECTORS
Well, well, well.... This morning (Sat), the dealership called and told me my bike was "ready". When I asked about the injectors, I was told the tech "could not duplicate the problem" after riding it for " a while". My blood pressure skyrocketed! I asked if this was going to be an issue in a much agitated tone of voice. The dealership employee told me "oh no, it won't be". Fine, I said, when will they be installed? I was told Monday.
Man, I just don't understand where these stealerships are coming from. It makes no sense to me that they would argue at all about this problem and the fix. I'm the general manager of an auto dealership and we deal with service issues on a regular basis and sometimes it seems that when it rains it pours. Thats just part of the business we're in. The cost of doing business. Our bottom line is always the customers satisfaction. The long term effect service has on our customer. We count on return business. It has been said before and how true it is, the sales person makes the first sale, service makes the rest.

Well, well, well... Man I can hardly believe how some of your dealers treat you guys. First off, thanks to the original post for the info. My dealer picked up my bike late yesterday afternoon for the 1k service. When I got back to the office, I logged onto the forum and seen this bulletin. This morning I made a copy of the bulletin and faxed it to the service manager at the dealership. I also cc'd to the owner, general manager, business manager, and the salesman that I dealt with. I don't personally know any of these people, but my experience with them has been at least superb. I'm a return customer at the dealership and maybe that helps, but I've always been treated well, from the first purchase to the most recent.
I hope I'm not counting my proverbial chickens before they're hatched, however, I'm confident I'll have no problems with the dealer with regard to the bulletin. I'll soon know and so will you.

My dealer here in JAX fla. replaced the injectors as per the bulletin on last Friday so I could go to Bike Week without any problems...most of the issues were cleared up but one still remains.
When the bike goes into Heat Management mode it drops the rpm as advertised but in my case the bike just keeps dipping down in RPM till it stalls...no amount of throttle jocky will bring the RPM's up once it goes too far.
I called them yesterday to give them my report and they said that new software is coming soon and they would let me know when to bring it in.

That surely does explain the low speed surge!! That was exactly what I told the dealer and they are changing mine once they come in.

[sm=goodidea.gif] I recall seeing somewhere that the 06 injectors were changed to help meet EPA regs, but I can't find it now. Can anybody shed some light?
Another worthwhile piece of info I got was that the bulk of the EPA tests were in the idle to 1/4 throttle range. This is why the bikes are so lean off idle. I was told at WOT the thing should run perfect! Guess I'll have to take it to Germany and run the Autobahn. He also said one guy had already installed some pretty hot cams in a 103ci motor w/ the stock 06 injectors and it was running great. Maybe the bigger 25 degree injectors atomize the fuel better at low RPM's or something? It would appear the stock injectors themselves are up to the task, but it makes you wonder why the bigger ones are now being installed at the factory now???

Does anyone know what the MOCO was using for injectors on 05 and older models? Were they using the CVO injectors? I'm just curious.

Update
First '06 with fuel injection in my area to have the new injectors installed and software dumped in!
Bike ran much cooler at idle...never went into the heat management mode once in stop and go traffic of 20 minutes, I think they nailed it guys, will keep you all posted as to how it runs in hotter weather.
